City crash sends five to hospital MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

City of L an gley Fire D epartm en t ph oto

City of Langley firefighters pry open a car involved in a multi-vehicle crash at Fraser Highway and the Langley Bypass, which sent five people to hospital on Friday.

Five people were taken to hospital following a four-car crash in Langley City at the intersection of Fraser Highway and the Langley Bypass late Friday afternoon. Two people were trapped in the wreckage of a car and had to be extricated using the Jaws of Life. Those two teenagers were taken to Royal Columbian Hospital with what was originally thought to be serious injuries but turned out to be minor. The crash happened when the 18-year-old Langley male driver of a Ford Contour turned left off the Bypass onto Fraser Highway on a yellow light while a driver of a black VW Jetta went straight through the yellow light. Both vehicles crashed into

each other. Some witnesses indicated the Jetta was speeding but that hasn’t been confirmed. The Jetta, driven by a 21-year-old Langley man, spun from the impact of the crash, slamming into two other vehicles. He was also taken to hospital with injuries. Both drivers were issued tickets for driving through on a yellow light. The 18-year-old driver of the white Ford who had to be extricated was also issued a ticket for driving contrary to restrictions of an “N” license, and having too many passengers. He had three passengers in his car. Traffic was tied up for several hours. It appears everyone involved will recover from their injuries, said police.

Girls Fly Too! event lands at Abbotsford’s airport The entire event is free. “We’re not taking the event away from Langley, rather we needed a larger venue to support the size of the event, as well as long runways for the really cool aircraft we have planned for the static display this year,” said Brazier.

40 Ave. house fire Saturday leads to meth lab discovery C LANDESTINE LAB SPECIALISTS CALLED IN M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

A fire in a rural Langley home that had been recently rented out led to the uncovering of a meth lab on Saturday morning. The blaze in the 22900 block of 40 Avenue caused extensive damage to the interior of the three-storey wood frame home. It also led to calling in clandestine lab specialists and a hazardous goods removal company to deal with the toxic remnants of the lab on the property, said police. The owners reside in a house at the

back of the property and were home at the time of the fire. The front house on the property had recently been rented and the tenants were in the process of moving in, said police. The tenants were not at home at the time of the fire. When fire crews arrived around 4 a.m., the blaze was deemed suspicious. There was the concern there could be a drug lab on the third floor of the home. For health reasons, it was not safe for anyone to enter the home immediately and the clandestine lab specialists were asked to attend.

$125,000 seized is now forfeited M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Langley RCMP helped organize the forfeiture of $125,000 cash seized in a 2012 drug trafficking investigation and arrest. On Aug. 1, 2012, acting on an anonymous tip advising police of individuals transporting marijuana from B.C. to Ontario, the Langley RCMP drug section arrested two men, seized 17.5 lbs of packaged marijuana, $121,590 cash and a 2005 Volvo rig the Ontario man was driving. That day, the Langley RCMP drug section witnessed a 41-year-old Coquitlam man hand over a large black garbage bag to a 50-year-old Ontario man. This occurred in a local Langley hotel parking lot. Constables Mike Schnerch, Langley’s asset forfeiture co-ordinator, and Eric Dykeman of the Langley drug section, reviewed the file and submitted it for possible civil forfeiture. Last month, Langley RCMP were informed the Civil Forfeiture Proceedings had concluded and the cash totalling nearly $125,000 had been ordered forfeited. The pot had been destroyed. Stays of proceedings were entered on all charges for both accused men in December 2013. The B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office is entirely self-funding and relies on revenues from successful forfeiture. These monies are used in part to fund crime prevention efforts by police and community groups across B.C. Since the program began, it has returned approximately $15 million from successful forfeiture actions to crime prevention and victims programs in B.C, including programs in the Langley area.

Clandestine drug investigators located items within the residence indicating a production lab of synthetic drugs. Later that day, a hazardous goods removal company did the clean up. No charges will be laid because police are unable to identify the people who were operating the meth lab. No injuries were reported, but the fire drew dozens of firefighters to the scene. Roadblocks were set up between 228 and 232 Streets on 40 Avenue for most of Saturday.

Off-duty officer saves girl’s life JENNIFER LANG Black Press

The bravery and quick response of an off-duty RCMP officer is credited with saving the life of a two-year-old girl from a burning house in Clayton Heights last week. Surrey RCMP dog handler Sgt. Derek King was out for a walk on Thursday (Jan. 8), when he saw smoke and flames erupting from a home in the 19000 block of 71 Avenue in Surrey. King immediately began knocking on the front door of the home, where

the toddler’s grandmother was able to tell him the little girl was trapped inside. King wasn’t wearing any protective gear, but that didn’t stop him from conducting a search for the girl. Her cries for help enabled him to find his way through the smoke to the room. He was able to scoop her up and bring her outside to safety. “It’s clear that this incident would have had a very tragic outcome,” Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said. “But thanks to Sgt. King’s bravery, he

saved a young child from serious injury or worse.” The toddler and grandmother were taken to Langley Memorial Hospital, where they were treated for smoke inhalation. The fire damaged a house and coach house. Crews arrived to find the back sides of both buildings on fire, necessitating a second alarm for additional firefighters. The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but does not appear to be suspicious, Garis said.

Mysterious bang in Aldergrove MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tm es Reporter

Something did go bang in the night in Aldergrove on Thursday, but police don’t know what it was. “One of our members heard the bang. That officer heard it around the area of 272 Street and Fraser Highway,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The sound of an explosion took place around 11 p.m., with some Aldergrove residents saying it was so loud it shook their house. “We had numerous officers out looking, including checking out the

military base, but we couldn’t determine where the explosion came from,” said Marks. Both the Township fire department and B.C. Ambulance didn’t have any calls matching an explosion of any kind or injuries, Marks confirmed. Many said the bang originated from the 272 Street and 32 Avenue area, near Parkside Elementary. Police were there with spotlights checking out the pool and field, but nothing turned up. A meth lab erupted in fire, destroying the third floor of a home at 22900

block of 40 Avenue on Saturday, but the two don’t appear to be related. A few years ago, there were a number of reported explosions that were heard by firefighters and police, as well as hundreds of Langley residents, who also said their homes shook. Some thought it was a sonic boom caused by an overhead jet, but no jet was reported to be in the area. In the end, police were never able to determine what the noises were. If anyone has any information about what caused the loud boom call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Law school at TWU narrowly survives New Brunswick challenge DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

An attempt to get the Law Society of New Brunswick (LSNB) Council to withdraw approval of a controversial proposed law school at Trinity Western University was defeated on a tied vot Friday. The New Brunswick society issued a statement saying the motion to rescind the approval “was not defeated, but it was not successful. There is a difference.” After the 12-12 ballot, the president of the Law Society of New Brunswick, Hélène L. Beaulieu, Q.C., said “the result of the decision demonstrates the difficulty council was faced with.” Beaulieu noted the vote came after recent developments “that cast the future of the law school in serious doubt,” with the BC Law Society reversing an earlier decision to accredit the university and the BC government revoking its approval in response.

Still, the decision was hailed by the university, with spokesperson Guy Saffold saying TWU was “very pleased.” “This is yet another milestone in the process of developing our School of Law,” Saffold said. Saffold noted Trinity Western’s application to open a law school has been approved by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, as well as the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon. Opposition to the law school centres on a clause forbidding “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman” in the covenant that all staff and students at the university are expected to abide by. Critics say the clause is anti-gay and conflicts with a lawyer’s responsibility to uphold the rights and freedoms of all persons.

The university has said the issue is one of religious freedom. TWU won a court battle over the same issue with the B.C. College of Teachers in 2001. The case involved the College’s refusal to allow the university to assume full responsibility for its teacher training because of the TWU Community Standards at the time had a list of “practices that are biblically condemned” that mentioned “sexual sins including … homosexual behaviour.” In an 8-1 ruling in 2001, the Supreme Court of Canada declared that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply.” The court decision said the university can believe what it wants about gay people so long as it doesn’t actually discriminate against them.

New airport, new experience From Page 1

“Another benefit is that it exposes repeat participants to other airports — kind of like what a pilot experiences.” Brazier said the Langley event was ‘awesome’ and supported by many in the community. “Many of the volunteers will be helping us again in Abbotsford, including MP Mark Warawa and his wife,” she said. Despite poor weather the first day, hundreds of females took to the skies in Langley for the first

time in their lives. Out of 24,505 professional pilots in Canada, only 1,356 of them are women. Out of 19,601 aircraft engineers, only 560 of them are women. Less than 3 per cent of the technical positions in the Royal Canadian Air Force, such as pilot or maintenance technician, are held by women. There are some huge developments coming to the Abbotsford Airport in the aerospace industry, with the B.C. government investing $5 million into the industry over five years.

First two cell tower projects Breakfast Special rejected under new rules All Day, Every Day.

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The first test of a new Langley Township cell tower policy that requires a poll of people near a proposed project did not go well for the phone companies, with the rejection of the first two towers presented under the new rules. Telus wanted to fill in coverage gaps and reduce dropped calls by building two new towers, one 45 metres tall at 4997 256 St. and the other 50 metres tall at 20470 88 Ave. They were the first cell towers to be considered since the Township adopted a new process in September, 2013, following several drawn-out public hearings on cell tower placement in Langley. It is believed the Township is the first Metro Vancouver community to order referendums on cell towers. The new municipal “telecommunication tower policy” requires an 80 per cent “yes” vote from people living near any

proposed new cell phone antenna installation. Under the new rules, cellphone companies have to poll residents within a 500 metre radius of a proposed tower. Ballots are mailed out, and any that don’t get returned are considered to be “no” votes. Telus didn’t even come close to the 80 per cent “yes” target on either tower proposal. The 256 Street project netted less than 10 per cent mail-in support, while the 88 Avenue project was below seven per cent. When the two projects came back to council in December, a majority voted to inform Industry Canada, the federal agency that has final say over cell towers, that neither was supported. Because Industry Canada could still decide to allow construction, Councillor Bob Long convinced the rest of council to add a request for a more esthetic tree-like tower design if they do go ahead. Two more cell tower projects are being processed under the

new policy. Telus tried to talk council out of the new approach before it was approved, arguing the 80 per cent requirement would be all but impossible to achieve. Government affairs manager Chad Marlatt said Telus knows most people don’t want a cell tower near their homes. Usually, he said, only 10 per cent of nearby residents will support a new cell tower. While the Township doesn’t actually have legal authority to prevent construction of cell towers, Marlatt said Industry Canada, the federal authority that does have the power, will likely defer to the Township. Marlatt said Langley needs to upgrade its cell networks to keep up with “overwhelming” demand from a rapidly growing community, and that means upgrading existing towers and adding new ones. He said Langley currently has the second highest number of complaints about cell service in B.C.

Police say two men began to argue over the right to take a taxi and a fight ensued. Security officers and friends of the victim intervened to stop the fight and the male suspect walked

away not to be seen again. Meanwhile the victim went to hospital with a broken jaw. The suspect is described as Caucasian, tall and wearing a grey jacket.

Police seek wallet and ID thief Langley RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance to identify the man pictured in a surveillance photo, who is accused of stealing a wallet, car keys and more from a locker in a Langley recreation centre. On Dec. 28, police received a report of a stolen wallet at WC Blair Rec Centre sometime be-

tween 6:50 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. Also taken from the locker was a set of car keys and some cash. Since that time, credit cards have been used fraudulently and police allege the pictured male used one of the cards at an ATM.

Question langeytimes.com

Terrorism is on the minds of many people these days, given last week’s events in France. Canada is not immune from the challenges posed by terrorists, with ISIS specifically naming Canada as a target last week. The organization, which holds parts of Iraq and Syria and continues to engage in brutal attacks on innocent people, is under attack by Canada and many other allied nations. It has been threatening Canada for months, with at least one Canadian, John Maguire, appearing in ISIS videos and calling for attacks on his countrymen. Many Canadians felt immune from terrorism until the attacks on Canadian Forces members in Ottawa and Quebec last fall. While the people involved in both of those cases apparently acted on their own, and at least one was suffering from mental illness, the attacks shook many Canadians. An attack on a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial, and the lone shooter then getting into the Parliament Buildings, was a brazen and chilling moment. The federal government is ready and willing to boost surveillance of potential “radicalized” individuals, and its moves in this area will be supported by a large majority of citizens. They want to get back to the “peace and order” that usually characterizes Canada. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that. The world is a much smaller place, with air travel to almost any place easily available, and social media used extensively to shape and change peoples’ attitudes. Some people suggest that all terrorists are Muslims and feel that the root of the problem is that particular religion. This is a very narrow-minded and wrong-headed approach to take, as the story of Mohamed Chelali (see editor’s column on this page) shows. In 2002, the teacher (of Muslim background) was in Paris, and helped to disarm a neo-Nazi who was planning to assassinate French presiident Jacques Chirac at the annual Bastille Day parade. The fact is that there are people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds who feel they need to take their grievances and explode them on the world stage. Any way that they can be identified early and stopped is useful.

Should Langley Secondary School be closed within the next few years?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Freedom lessons they

From the tragedy at Charlie Hebdo in Paris rises a lesson in democracy. Freedom of expression is not dead. Masked extremists took the lives of 12 people on Wednesday and injured others. Assault rifles were used to combat images and opinions in a war of ideals. It’s not a fair fight. But war doesn’t usually make sense. The values of democracy do, though, which is why we must continue to speak up for them. Weapons and words can both harm, and in satire – the lifeblood of the French magazine – they are meant to. As pointed out by Joe Randazzo, former editor of The Onion: satire is essential to democracy. “Even in the most repressive medieval kingdoms, they understood the need for the court jester, the one soul allowed to tell the truth through laughter,” he said. “It is, in many ways, the most powerful form of free speech because it is aimed at those in power, or those whose ideas would spread hate. It is the canary in the coal mine, a cultural thermometer, and it always has to push, push, push the boundaries of society to see how much it’s grown.” Not enough. Satire is a form of opinion, which sparks debate, keeps the wheels turning. It’s not so easy to share an opinion. Often people don’t agree. And you don’t have to. You don’t have to respond, either. But if you do, it should not be with fists. To kill people for speaking their minds is an unthinkable act of cowardice, meant to instill fear, to silence them. That’s not democracy. To protect it, we need to keep speaking freely. Humour us. — Maple Ridge News

Poll results are a concern Editor: We must not only condemn the Paris murderers, but also consider the context. Given that the assassins shouted “Allah” and proclaimed that “The prophet is now avenged,” it is clear that while terrorism was the method, extremist Islam was the motivation. Democratic peoples now need to ask this question: “How widespread is Muslim support for such extremist action?” Let’s hope it’s limited, and that there’s widespread denunciation by leaders of the 57 countries in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and strong denunciation by Muslim leaders in democracies. Unfortunately, I’m not very optimistic. In almost all of the 57 OIC countries, freedom of religion and the press are severely curtailed or non-existent. Twenty-three make apostasy a crime,

mainly with a death penalty. Most of the other 34 don’t tolerate religious freedom. Also, recent European data is startling: “35 per cent of all Muslims in France believe suicide bombings are justified.” “38.6 per cent of Muslims believe 9/11 attacks were justified.” “Onethird of British Muslims support killing for Islam.” “78 per cent of British Muslims support punishing the publishers of Muhammad cartoons.” “68 per cent of British Muslims support the arrest and prosecution of anyone who insults Islam.” All of these poll results can be found at www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/opinion-polls.htm. Are we dealing with a tiny, deviant minority? JOHN H. REDEKOP, ABBOTSFORD

Chamber should do a rethink Editor: The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is currently the only chamber in Metro Vancouver to oppose a small 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to deliver $7.5 billion in critical transit and transportation investment in our region, including Langley. One of the reasons cited by the Langley chamber for opposing this investment package is that they would prefer “mobility pricing” instead of a sales tax to fund it. Mobility pricing in Metro Vancouver means charging direct user fees to use major roads and bridges. Road pricing is a great way to manage demand and pay for roads, but is a poor way to fund transit. Just like gas tax, as more people take transit, less money is available for transit improvement. Gas tax revenue is already declining, impacting the ability to improve roads and transit today. The 0.5 per cent regional sales tax is the most equitable and affordable way to pay for transit. The proposed regional sales tax would be paid by residents, businesses, and visitors in Metro Vancouver; everyone that benefits from transportation infrastructure.

It is affordable; as it will only be applied to items which are PST taxable, an increase of $10 per month for the average household and $5 per month for low-income households. If Metro Vancouver moved ahead with using road pricing as proposed by the Langley chamber, it would actually hurt people in Langley the most. More people use cars to get around in Langley than anywhere else in Metro Vancouver — 90 per cent of all trips are by auto. Only 53 per cent of all trips are by auto in Vancouver. While a sales tax would apply to the same basket of goods, whether you live in Vancouver or Langley, road pricing would be paid for disproportionately by people who live in the South of Fraser. Perhaps the Langley chamber needs to rethink their opposition. Improving transit and transportation in Langley will unlock new economic opportunity, and will actually save families money due to enhanced public transit service, and the need to drive less. NATHAN PACHAL, LANGLEY CITY

Centre renaming suggested Editor: Fiona Miller had a great idea for the City of Langley to give their dog park a name (The Times, Jan. 8). Perhaps she could organize a cam-

paign to rename The Langley Events Centre, just to alleviate the confusion. RICK CORMIER, ALDERGROVE

LSS won’t close in 2015 THREE TO FOUR-YEAR PERIOD CONSIDERED Editor: Thank you for discussing the School District consultations currently underway in your Jan. 6 editorial headlined “Will Langley Secondary be closed in 2015?” The ongoing conversations regarding the changes being considered (which include, but are not limited to, Langley Secondary) are significant and public input is an important part of the decision-making process. Your article will help increase awareness of this process, which we sincerely appreciate. While a decision is expected to be made in the near future, none of the options under consideration would have Langley Secondary School closing in 2015. All plans under consideration are expected to be implemented over a three- to four-year period — with that period only starting when approval and

financing is granted by the Ministry of Education. It is also important to note that the school transition plans have yet to be determined. While it is possible all changes would occur at one time, there are other options that will likely need to be considered. School transition strategies will be determined only after a decision is made on which option, of the ones currently being discussed, will be implemented. Details on the plans under consideration, the consultation process and more, can be found on the District’s website at www.sd35. bc.ca/ltfp. ROB MCFARLANE, CHAIR, LANGLEY BOARD OF EDUCATION

There’s a useful consent letter form you You may need that signature even if you’re the parent the kids mostly live with and you have the primary parenting responsibilities. Passport Canada allows you to apply for a passport for your child if you’re the custodial parent with sole custody and your ex doesn’t have custodial rights. But most separation agreements and divorce court orders these days give parents joint custody, and talk about the child’s primary residence and the different parenting responsibilities and time and contact with the kids after the separation. So if you share parenting with your ex, you’ll need your ex’s signature on your child’s passport application. (Without it, you’ll need a court order, which is costly and could take weeks to get.) You’ll also need to submit all agreements and court orders that deal with the custody or parenting of your child and any travel authorizations (or mobility restrictions) involving the children. Passport officials look very closely at these documents. To avoid problems, the separation agreement or court order dealing with your separation and divorce arrangements can deal with this ahead of time.

It’s preferable to have the consent letter officially notarized, to show it’s genuine. But that assumes your ex will agree. Ideally, your separation or divorce arrangements would also deal with consent letters for travelling with the kids out of the country. You might each give the other a general travel consent letter, so a separate letter isn’t needed each time one of you wants to travel with the kids. Or if individual consent letters are required for each trip, typically the agreement or order will say that you each will give a consent letter if the other’s request to travel with the kids is reasonable. Of course, it might also contain restrictions on the kids’ travel in appropriate cases. Travel abroad with children can be tricky, so don’t leave things to the last minute.

A happier and healthier version of yourself may the first thing that springs to mind when thinking of New Year's resolution, however, the wellness puzzle isn't complete without proper hearing. In fact, depression, poor self-esteem, stress, fatigue and social isolation are all potential by-products of hearing loss. At Ears Hearing Langley, Kim Galick and her team provide exceptional hearing health care on a professional, yet personal basis to every patient who walks through the door. Even family members who are affected by their loved one's hearing loss can benefit from this small clinic with a big heart. "I take great pride with the service that I provide to my patients hearing health care needs and to their family members," said Galick, who has been a registered hearing instrument specialist with the College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of B.C. for the past 19 years. Galick opened her family-run business – a full-service audiology clinic providing free hearing tests and also provides hearing aids and hearing protection – on the corner of Langley's historic Salt Lane and 56 Ave. two years ago. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, the mother-of-two worked at the same hearing clinic for

20 years. The owner decided to become semi-retired, which prompted Galick to take the next step in her career. "At that time I felt it's now or never – so I chose now," she said. The long-time Langley resident had always dreamt about opening up her own clinic where she could give each and every client who walks through the door every ounce of her attention and expertise. She's now living the dream and loving every minute. "I am blessed to be the owner of Ears Hearing Langley," she said of the independent and locally owned hearing clinic that prides itself on providing top-notch service and affordable prices on par with any "big box store." "While many complain of feeling like just another number at some of the larger ''big box" stores, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional customer service and competitive pricing – guaranteed! I firmly believe that consumers will not find better service elsewhere – we truly care about our customers. You will feel that the moment you walk through our doors. " Any adult who is concerned about their hearing should be tested, according to Galick, who notes that tests are always complimentary at her clinic.

CALL US TODAY TO BOOK YOUR FREE HEARING TEST "Depending on the outcome of the results – if person's hearing is normal or possibly borderline normal, we recommend bi-annual re-testing. If the test results show that there is hearing loss of some degree, we will discuss the concerns the client has about their hearing, and if a hearing aid is suitable, we will discuss all options available." Hearing aids are not a commodity to be given to the clients and then sent out the door, adds Galick, who notes that it takes time for each person to get used to hearing aids and the hearing aids need adjustments as the clients slowly get used to wearing them. "This is generally done weekly and/or bi-weekly for the first few months and then once the client is comfortable with the hearing aids quarterly check-up appointments are schedule," she said. "Customers will need continuous service for the life that they own their hearing aids. Having a good open and honest relationship with their Hearing Practitioner is very important.” And for anyone who has difficulty getting to appointments, Ears Hearing Langley is more than happy to arrange transportation to their clinic. "It's very difficult for some of our clients to

make it into the office," noted Galick. "Should someone fall into this category then we'll either arrange a 'Home Visit' appointment or we can provide transportation to come and pick up the client for their appointment and then drive them back home." While many avoid having a hearing exam or refrain from purchasing a hearing aid because of the expense, there are ways of receiving assistance. "There are many people out there who feel as though they cannot afford a hearing aid, but I encourage everyone with hearing concerns to come in and have their hearing evaluated, "said Galick. On Thursday, Jan. 22 Ears Hearing Langley is offering a FREE Lunch and Information Seminar at the Langley Senior Resource Society, located at 20605 51 B Ave. "This seminar will provide FREE information about all your hearing concerns and that annoying ringing in your ears," said Galick. To attend this event, you must pre-register by calling the clinic at 604-427-2828.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

TRANSPORTATION

AND

TRANSIT PLEBISCITE

It’s a Complicated Matter to Consider

he Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has stated that it is not supporting the plebiscite because of the following concerns: • the lack of stated mechanisms to mitigate the negative impact on Langley due to leakage of investment and consumers into Abbotsford and the U.S. to avoid a regional tax • the level of proposed improvements and investments put forward in the Mayor’s vision for the first ten years that will directly impact the Langley businesses • the risk of South of Fraser investments being deferred and/or delayed if the other larger projects go beyond the original budgets or incur construction delays Our Board has invested a significant amount of time on the issue and considered many questions when assessing this issue, such as: • Do we believe transportation improvements are needed? • Does the vision provide for improvements that are positive to the Metro Vancouver Region? • Do the benefits to the Region directly and/or indirectly provide benefits to Langley businesses? • Langley has several individual communities, how do we juggle the fact that each community has a different perspective as to the cost/benefit question? • Langley has a very diverse range of business, where the cost/benefits vary immensely for each, what is the best approach to balance the different perspectives? • We operate on behalf of our members, the majority of those members are small businesses with less than 5 employees. Should we focus purely on the direct impact to those small businesses, and ignore the fact that their success is dependent on the economic success of the overall Langley community, Metro Vancouver Region, and the Province?

• We recognize there is only one taxpayer. If we want to see transit improvements, we have to decide the most fair and equitable method to pay for them. We strongly recommend mobility pricing, but that will take time to implement properly. So what is the fairest/most equitable method for the interim? • If the plebiscite is not successful, what will happen? There will be transit cuts because costs are growing due to inflation and population growth and the costs will exceed the revenues. Langley has some rural areas with low ridership numbers. It is reasonable to predict that currently low serviced areas could be negatively impacted with service cuts. How do we prevent cuts when we actually want additional service? • We want to be an organization that facilitates positive change to impact businesses in Langley. We are putting forward our concerns to the plebiscite, but we clearly articulated our concerns. A simple no, is not going to solve congestion problems and facilitate positive impacts for business. If we want improved transportation in the region and Langley, we need to propose practical solutions. We came to our stated position, but there were many debates in the following areas: • the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has actively lobbied for improvements in the transportation network in Langley and the larger Metro Vancouver Region – as the Chamber believes the transportation network is a positive facilitator of the movement of goods and services – the effectiveness of our economy positively impacts our local businesses, provides their employees with quality local jobs, which in turn ensures those residents reinvest in our community, but how can we confirm that the planned improvements will have a positive impact on Langley? • We have lobbied for transportation improvements to improve the movement of goods and services. The current Mayors’ Vision investments are focused on the improved transportation of residents, therefore the benefits are not directly focused on business. Will

these improvements reduce cars on the road and congestion, which in turn will improve the efficiency of goods movement in the region? â€˘ There are not a significant number of capital improvements that are specifically focused on the Langley region, so it is hard to measure the potential positive impacts of our investment when there are varied perspectives. How much benefit will Langley actually see? â€˘ For a Langley company that is focused more on manufacturing, production, distribution and receives supplies or delivers products throughout the Metro Vancouver region, reduced congestion will have a direct impact on reducing transportation costs â€˘ For a more service based company that serves customers in the community, such as a restaurants and personal services, there are less directly positive impacts, but when we consider the larger picture we note that these businesses are successful due to the loyalty of the local residents. The quantity of residents living in Langley, their disposable income, and quality of life directly impacts local spending. Therefore, if we have residents moving to Langley, but working at quality jobs outside the region and relying on the transportation system, these residents

will reap the benefits and spend their money with our local businesses. â€˘ Many parts of Langley have very little transit investments, but it is difficult to measure how much those residents and businesses still access other parts of the network (use major road network, drive to a park and ride, bus lanes, carpool, etc.) â€˘ Langley Township is one of the fastest growing municipalities. A strong community relies on transportation to attract business and residents. We need to make investments to prepare for growth, but when is the right time to start investing? â€˘ If the current investment plan is delayed, when will Langley move up the queue and become the priority for the region? At this point, we want to focus on informing our members, getting feedback on their thoughts and doing additional research on our noted concerns. Our residents have to vote on this issue, so we want to ensure they are making an informed decision, considering all the potential impacts, thinking about the future of Langley, and using their democratic powers to facilitate positive change.

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS

Nine critical skills for successful salespeople Courtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada ~ www.bdc.ca The secret to making consistent sales is to stop selling. Instead of pushing for a transaction, salespeople should ask questions, make statements and suggest value propositions that help customers realize they have a need to address, says Nigel Robertson, BDCâ€™s Regional Training Coordinator for Ontario. â€œThe sales person with a pitch he relentlessly makes to prospects is out of date,â€? Robertson says. He offered nine essential tips to help sales professionals generate more consistent sales:

1. Adopt an adviser mindset The best salespeople are trusted advisers. â€œNobody likes to be sold to, but everybody likes to buy,â€? Robertson says. At the first level of the buying decision, most people are unaware they have a need or are simply not interested in what you have to offer. So that certainly isnâ€™t the point in the buying cycle to ask for an order. Instead, ask questions to uncover needs you could meet.

2. Listen actively and bring value Successful salespeople are genuinely helpful. Listen closely to what your prospective customer is saying and respond with solutions that meet those expressed needs. â€œThis is how you actually help the prospects make their own decision to buy,â€? Robertson says. A sales professional will soon lose credibility if he or she doesnâ€™t show a deep understanding of a prospectâ€™s needs or doesnâ€™t understand in detail his or her own companyâ€™s offerings.

3. Call high Seek out prospects who have the authority to make an order.

4. Be disciplined Keep an up-to-date prospects list, where you gather information about each prospect including their needs, their level of their interest in your offerings, the date of your last conversation and proposed future steps. Group prospects into categories: Excellent, average or weak leads. This will help you adapt your strategy and follow-up efficiently.

5. Be systematic about generating leads You need a structured process-based approach to meeting your sales objectives. Make sure youâ€™re

systematically generating sufficient sales prospects on a weekly basis. You or your sales team should have specific targets for the number of prospects you need to have in the pipeline at any given time.

6. Manage your time diligently â€œFirmly pull the weeds from your garden.â€? Identify leads who will never buy from you and focus your energy elsewhere.

7. Be ready to respond to objections You have to be prepared to handle them immediately. Consider beforehand the strong and weak points of your product or service and how a prospect is likely to resist buying.

Great Food, Great Fun, Great Memories. Located in New Westminster, BC www.vancouverpaddlewheeler.com info@vancouverpaddlewheeler.com

8. Ask for a next step Every time you have a telephone call or face-to-face meeting with a prospect, you should â€œsell a concrete next action.â€? If youâ€™re not closing the sale at that point, ask if you could get together again and continue the discussion. Itâ€™s what Robertson calls a â€œpre-sale trial,â€? a test of earnestness. â€œThis is how you know if you can take this further or you are just wasting your time and energy.â€?

9. Ask for referrals

SATURDAY

Above: Evangeline Lilly will be at Fort Langleyâ€™s Chief Sepass Theatre on Thursday as part of Langley Fine Art Schoolâ€™s Arts Matter series. She will speak about her career and read her childrenâ€™s book, Squickerwonkers; below: Smithers musician Alex Cuba will be the Arts Matters guest performer on Jan. 29.

She was last seen in Middle Earth. Now, Evangeline Lilly is set to make an appearance here in Langley. This Thursday, Lilly, who most recently starred in The Hobbit trilogy, will be at Langley Fine Arts Schoolâ€™s Chief Sepass Theatre. The Canadian actor, turned childrenâ€™s author, is the first of two guests invited to participate this month in the schoolâ€™s Arts Matter series. Lilly, who rose to fame 11 years ago as Kate Austen in the hit television series Lost, before being cast in a number of high-profile films, including The Hurt Locker and the upcoming Ant Man, is now working on a series of books aimed at young audiences. Her first childrenâ€™s book â€” The Squickerwonkers â€” was published late last year.Â Described by one review as being â€œat the dark end of the spectrumâ€? of childrenâ€™s books, alongside the likes of Neil Gaimanâ€™s Coraline, The Squickerwonkers tells the story of a spoiled young girl named Selma who encounters a troupe of colourful marionettes and soon learns that she will not always get her way. On Thursday afternoon, Lilly will spend time with LFAS students,Â talking about her craft and participating in workshops. During the evening session inside the Fort Langley schoolâ€™s theatre the public is invited to listen as Lilly reads her book aloud. She will also discuss her career in the arts, take questions from the audience and sign copies of The Squickerwonkers, which will be available for purchase at the event. Booking Lilly for the series was â€œjust fluke,â€? said Chief Sepass Theatre manager Kevin Statham, a member of the Arts Matter committee at LFAS. â€œIt just all fell together. She happened to be in town this week.â€? The actor/author had been trying to find time in her busy schedule to do something like this, he added. In anticipation of her arrival, students have been busy for the past several weeks preparing work based on Lillyâ€™s book â€” including a dramatic piece and a video â€” which will be presented that evening, he explained.

â€œMy original idea was, maybe the school could bring her book to life,â€? Statham said. With such a short lead time, that was too ambitious a plan, he said. But he expects audiences will enjoy both the studentsâ€™ and Lillyâ€™s presentations, just the same. â€œShe does quite the performance when she reads,â€? he chuckled. Two weeks later, on Jan. 29, the school will welcome Smithers musician Alex Cuba for the second and final session of Arts Matter for the school year. â€œAlex loved the concept of coming to the school,â€? said Statham, who contacted the musician through Facebook to issue the invitation. Cubaâ€™s music is described as being influenced by Latin and African rhythms, mixed with funk, jazz and pop. The Juno and Latin Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter will be backed up by an orchestra of senior LFAS students as well as a student jazz ensemble when he performs for the public at the evening session. Since it began four years ago, the Arts Matter series has included as many as four guest artists in one season. Because of last summerâ€™s job action, planning for the series began later than it should have, explained Statham. â€œCommittee members have been busy,â€? he said. â€œMost of the planning was supposed to happen in June.â€? That is why this yearâ€™s series is limited to two guests. The performances fall two weeks apart, he said, because of Lillyâ€™s and Cubaâ€™s availability. Despite the compressed timeline, Statham said he believed it was important to host at least one Arts Matter session during the year, if only for the sake of ensuring the series didnâ€™t fall by the wayside. Chief Sepass Theatre is located at 9096 Trattle St. in Fort Langley. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show begins at 7 p.m. Admission to the Arts Matter presentations is $20 adult and $15 student.

Rising Langley star returns to LCMS stage Langley Community Music School (LCMS) alumni are making it on the world stage, and LCMS’ alumnus Paul Hung is no exception. Award-winning Langley flautist, Hung, will join collaborative partner Romanian pianist, Bogdan Dulu, to perform at LCMS’ Concerts Café Classico event on Sunday, Jan.18. The flute-piano duo will perform Sonata ‘Undine’, Op.167 by Carl Reinecke, Touching the Ether by Ian Clarke, I Converse with You in a Dream by Jocelyn Morlock, East Wind for Solo Flute by Shulamit Ran, and Tango Fantasia by Jacob Gabe. Hung is pleased to be back at the school. “LCMS feels like a second home to me,” he said. “As a student, I enjoyed the sense of community … people showing their support by showing up at student concerts and festivals. It was fun and stress-free.” The upcoming concert provides Hung the opportunity to return to his roots and share his success with the community. Hung attended LCMS and the Langley Fine Arts School throughout his high school years. The Café Classico event begins at 2:30 p.m. featuring a conversation with Hung and Dulu, hosted by LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann. There will be a short break with coffee and refreshments, before the performance from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We are so pleased to have played a part in the rising success of Paul Hung,” said LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann. “We are also honored to be able to welcome accomplished Romanian pianist Bogdan Dulu. Both Paul and Bogdan are exciting young performers who represent well the next generation of musical talent. ” Tickets for this Concerts Café Classico event are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $10 for

LCMS issues call for young talent for OperaTion Youth Project The Langley Community Music School has put out a call for soloists and stage managers for a June 2015 production of three new, one-act operas as part of their OperaTion Youth Project. The project, begun in January 2014, engages local youth in all aspects of a musical theatre production from writing stories and composing the musical scores to the performers and orchestra. To date, the stories are written. Winning entries from three young Langley writers — Jasmin Soomin Jeong, 12, Lauren Trotzuk, 19, and Kaitlyn Gisler, 21 — were accepted in early 2014 and have now been developed into three short librettos with the assistance of professional librettist, Kico Gonzalez-Risso. The music compositions are almost complete. OperaTion Youth winning composers, David Ko, 16; Samantha Lee, 15; Jasmine Lee, 13; Howard Chen, 14; and Nathan Zemp, 15, are working with professional composer, Marcel Bergmann, as well as members of the Turning Point Ensemble, to develop their musical scores. Now LCMS needs the talent for production — specifically, a stage manager, an assistant stage manager, and multiple vocalists. The production dates are May 1, 18, 29, 31, and June 1 to 6, with a dress rehearsal on June 4 and the performance on June 5 and 6, 2015. After the event, there will also be an hon-

orarium for both roles. Applicants should be able to read music sufficiently to follow a score. Some on-the-job training may be available for those applicants with limited experience. Interested individuals between the ages of 16 and 25 may apply by submitting a letter of intent along with a bio and resume or list of previous involvement in theatre and/or musical theatre production to Elizabeth Bergmann via email at elizabeth@ langleymusic.com. The deadline for application is Jan. 20. Interviews will be held Jan. 24. ••• Vocal soloists are also sought. LCMS requires multiple vocal soloists (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) to perform these three new OperaTion Youth operas in two performances on June 5 and 6. Rehearsal dates commence during spring break in March, and on April 18, May 1, 14, 18, 21, 29, 31, and June 1-6. Interested individuals between the ages of 10 and 25 may apply by submitting a letter of intent along with a short bio and resume or list of previous involvement in musical theatre productions, choir and/or other concert performances to Elizabeth Bergmann via email at elizabeth@langleymusic.com. The deadline for application is Jan. 20. Auditions will be held Jan. 24. Vocalists should prepare one song and/ or aria for the audition.

LANGLEY PLAYERS PRESENT NORM FOSTER’S SELF-HELP, ON STAGE JAN. 15 TO FEB. 14 The Langley Players are welcoming the New Year by going into therapy. And because the local theatre club’s winter production, Self-Help, is another rib tickler from well-known Canadian playwright, Norm Foster, it’s a fair guess that nothing is going to go as planned. In the production, which runs from Jan. 15 until Valentine’s Day at the Langley Playhouse, Hal and Cindy Savage, a married couple who are both actors, re-invent themselves as nationally renowned self-help gurus. Cindy and Hal are tired of scratching out a meager living by pursuing their profession in second-rate theatres. The best thing they have is their love for each other and Cindy has an epiphany involving a selfhelp book after a bad night at yet another uninspiring dinner theatre. Before you know it, they re-invent themselves as all-knowing gurus of personal and professional development and are a runaway success. But soon, their lives — and their lies — are unravelling as they try to conceal a body and hold on to their falsely won fame. Playing Hal is Langley actor Ken Boyd, who has also appeared on stage with the Langley Players in God of Carnage, The

Paging new participants – Reading Buddies applications due Jan. 23

Come warm yourself by the fire with friends!

Without the ability to read, life can be a struggle. Helping children receive the support they need to become successful readers is critical and that is why the Reading Buddies program was created. Reading Buddies is a fun, stress-free way for struggling young readers to improve their literacy skills and reading confidence with the help of a high school mentor. Big Buddies and Little Buddies meet for one hour each week in the City of Langley Library, Walnut Grove Library and the Aldergrove Library to practice reading. “Our hope is to provide extra community-based support for children who are struggling. It is essential that emerging readers receive support at this age so they can reach their full potential” said

Rock wreck Stealth home opener VANCOUVER STARTS STRONG, FADES IN MIDDLE AS TEAM DROPS HOME OPENER AT LEC GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

It was a fantastic start to their home debut, but a poor middle two periods did in the Vancouver Stealth. Leading 4-1 just 10 minutes into Saturday night’s National Lacrosse League game at the Langley Events Centre, the Stealth were unable to build on their early advantage, falling 20-11 to the visiting Toronto Rock. The Rock cut the lead to 4-2 by the end of the first quarter and that goal sparked a 14-2 Toronto run that stretched into the third quarter. “(Toronto) started to outwork us and were rewarded for it,” said Stealth head coach Dan Perreault. “We were back on our heels. They had possession a lot of the time and we gave them room on their shooters and they capitalized.” “We came out with a lot of energy,” said Vancouver’s Ilija Gajic, who opened the scoring and finished with a goal and three assists. “(But) we started fatiguing a bit in the second period. You could see guys getting tired and making foolish mistakes and as soon as we started doing that, a team like Toronto is going to beat you.” The Rock improved to 2-0 on the season while Vancouver fell to 1-1. Toronto was led by Josh Sanderson, who had four goals and 14 points and Rob Hellyer, who finished with six goals and 10 points. The Rock led 10-6 at the half and 15-8 after three quarters. “We watched them come out and run on us and our offence was flatfooted,” said Toronto coach John Lovell. “Once we cleaned that up, it allowed our offence to do what they do.” Sanderson echoed those thoughts. “It was just one of those nights were everything was going right,” Sanderson said. “I don’t think it was anything special.” The Stealth were led by Rhys Duch, who finished with three goals and five points, in the process, becoming the franchise’s all-time points leader. Duch has now tallied 534 points for the Stealth. Gary Rosyski had previously held the mark with 530 points. “It’s great to be the team’s all-time points leader, but I wish the end result was different,” Duch said. Tyler Digby also had a big game for the

The Rock outshot the Stealth 55-44 with Toronto’s Brandon Miller stopping 33 for the victory. Tyler Richards and Eric Penney both played goal for Vancouver but Perreault said the goalies were not at fault for the loss. “We certainly can’t pin this on our goaltenders,” he said. “Our defence left their shooters a lot of space and they made a lot of nice shots.” Perreault said that every game — win or lose – is a learning experience. And the lesson from the Rock game was that the players were doing too much individually, rather than as a five-man unit. Gajic said the team needs to use what they learned in this game. “We have to follow our game plan,” he said. “The games are not going to come easy. “It’s a good wake-up call and we have to be better.” The Stealth are back in action on Saturday (Jan. 17) when they host the Buffalo Bandits (1-1) at the LEC. Game time is 7 p.m.

Rivermen overtake Chiefs for top spot in division

A convincing 5-1 victory in the rubber match of a three-game series with the Chilliwack Chiefs has the Langley Rivermen sitting in top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The junior A hockey rivals met three times in less than 72 hours

and after Chilliwack won the opener on Friday 3-2, Langley bounced back with a 4-1 win Saturday night and 5-1 the following afternoon. The first and last games were at the Langley Events Centre while the middle game of the set was at

Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre. Langley leads the Mainland Division at 22-15-1-4 for 49 points, one better than Chilliwack (2314-1-1). The Chiefs do hold three games in hand. In the finale of the series, Matthew Graham led the way with

two goals and two assists while Zac Masson had a two-goal game and Marcus Vela tallied once. “The pucks were bouncing our way today,” Graham said. “It was a fun game to be a part of and it was nice to see our line rewarded for our efforts.”

Langley led 3-0 after 20 minutes and never looked back. “I’m happy with the way we played,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. Continued Page 23

Vela, Didur off to CJHL Prospects Game Two members of the Langley Rivermen have been selected to play in the Canadian Junior Hockey League Prospects Game. Goaltender Bo Didur and forward Marcus Vela will represent Team West against Team East.

The game will be played next week (Jan. 20) in Oakville, Ont. Vela — who represented Canada West at last month’s World Junior A Challenge — has seven goals and 29 points in 34 games. He is committed to New Hamp-

shire for the 2016/17 NCAA hockey season. Didur is 14-11 on the season with a 2.63 goals against average and a .921 save percentage, ranking fifth and third, respectively, in the BCHL in those two

statistics. Also attending the game will be former Rivermen forward Darien Craighead, who now plays for the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Craighead has eight goals and 25 points in 26 games.

A dozen of the 20 Team West players are from the BCHL. The other eight are from the Alberta Junior Hockey League, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Langley Rivermen goaltender Darren Martin covers up as Chilliwack Chiefs’ Kurt Black looks for a loose puck during BCHL action at Prospera Centre on Saturday night. Martin was first star as he stopped 36 shots in a 4-1 Rivermen victory.

Make sure you get “FIT” the next time you need a pair of shoes for running or exercise!

From Page 21

“We started strong, played a full 60 minutes and beat a good Chilliwack team.” “It was like a mini-playoff series,” Masson said. “We found a good way to battle through and show that when the time comes, we’ll be able to get through those tough stretches.” Playing the same opponent for the third time in as many nights, it is little surprise that tempers started to flare. “In a game like that, it’s important not to lose your composure ,” said Masson. “I thought we kept our cool and that’s one of the reasons

we got the win.” “That was a great test for us,” Henderson added. “We got to see what the boys were made out of and they took advantage of it.” Bo Didur was solid in goal, stopping 28 shots for the victory. Only Chilliwack’s Jordan Kawaguchi was able to beat the Langley netminder. He was also in goal for the opener on Friday, making 23 saves in the loss. In that game, Chilliwack never trailed, winning 3-2. William Campion and Dante Hahn had the Rivermen goals while Brandon Tkachuk, Tipper Higgins and Jake Larson scored

for the Chiefs. Saturday’s game saw Darren Martin make 36 saves in the victory. Vela and Brandon Tkachuk traded first period goals before Rivermen captain Kevan Kilistoff potted the winner on the power play late in the second. Masson made it 3-1 with less than two minutes to play in the game and Graham finished things off with an empty-net goal. The Rivermen hit the road for a pair of games this week, tomorrow (Wednesday) in Merritt against the Centennials and Friday in Surrey versus the Eagles.

Langley passes on deadline moves GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

The BCHL trade deadline came and went on Saturday with the Langley Rivermen standing pat. The Rivermen, who now sit in first place in the BCHL’s Mainland

Division with 49 points through 42 games, are going with the status quo for the stretch drive. There are 16 games remaining in the regular season and Langley needs just three points — or two Surrey losses — to clinch a post-sea-

son berth. “We are happy with the group that we have,” said Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson on Monday morning. “We like the kids that we have (and) we have shown at times what we

are capable of.” While the team may have had options to tinker with their roster, Henderson said the coaching staff felt the players have been making positive steps over the course of the season.

With all the awareness of Seasonal Affective Disorder in recent years and the link between daylight and mood, it should come as no surprise that Austrian researchers have found a direct correlation between hours of sunshine and the rate of suicides. Moreover, increased exposure to sunshine was actually protective against suicide risk. While not universally true, it is probably a good rule of thumb to take advantage of any sunshine opportunities available at this time of year. Many have heard of or experienced the “hangover” effect that can come with some sleep mediations, but one in seven adults actually suffers from confusional arousal (CA or sleep drunkenness) when awakened. Typically, these people have been in a deep slow-wave sleep and they experience disorientation, impaired judgment, and even violet outbursts or amnesia. CA has been linked to some mental disorders and is worth following-up on. The importance of sleep is vastly underrated. Insufficient sleep has been linked to cardiovascular

disease, weight gain and cognitive issues – and now it’s being shown that a good night’s sleep helps to consolidate a newly learned motor skills. The Canadian BOB SANGHA study looked at individuals Pharmacist, BSc learning to play a new musical instrument and found that no sleep reduced skill retention by 21 per cent while sleep improved it by 7%! Many have heard of the benefits of music for the brain. Researchers at Boston’s Children’s Hospital have tried to quantify this, noting that musicians, both children and adults, enjoy enhanced executive function (EF) – cognitive flexibility, working memory, processing speed. While they weren’t able to say whether music caused the enhancement or if people with good EF tended to take up music, they said it was never too late to take up an instrument and benefit!

Gator Grade 8s win junior tournament Playing at a junior basketball tournament proved to be no problem at all for the Walnut Grove Gators Grade 8 girls basketball team. The Gators were competing at a tournament hosted by Enver Creek over the weekend and despite playing against girls two years older than them, Walnut Grove more than held their own, bringing home top spot.

He is predeceased by his lovely mother Elaine Bell. He was a local business owner, a fan of all sports, an avid golfer, a movie nut, a music lover, but most of all he was a lover of laughing and making all those around him smile. Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life at the Henderson Funeral Home at 20786 Fraser Hwy in Langley January 16th between 2-5 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name can be made to the Kidney foundation.
